it does matter to me, but the pokemon itself decides it, for example the pokemon that I love and will never leave me and my team are Gengar and Snorlax so they should be male, but for a pokemon like gardevoir,blissey and other girl themed pokemon, they should be definitely female.
also other pokemon like machamp, machoke, hariyama and other dude like pokemon shouldn't be female, imagine a naked body builder girl or a sumo girl!

I don't usually care, unless I only have a good nickname in mind for one gender or my team is already heavily skewed towards one gender (mainly nearly all female; I don't mind nearly all male quite as much). I also sometimes try to catch uncommon-gender pokemon like my female Panpour and Riolu or my male Clefairy and Skitty.

But, I don't care too much, however, when I plan my team, I usually try to have half my team be male and half female. I also had this thing when I was younger where I would nickname my Pokémon if they're names contradict with their genders. Mr. Mime was Mrs. Mime, and Geodude was Geogirl.

For the most part I try to have an even split, or more females if I'm including a gender-neutral Pokemon in the team, or all female. Also when I'm filling my pc boxes with one of every Pokemon, if I have a male basic and a female basic I'll evolve the female one (unless the male is at a much higher level). However, as someone else said sometimes I will have a nickname in mind for a Pokemon I want to add to my team and I will search out a Pokemon of the gender that fits the name.

I'm surprised at how sexist certain of us are on here. I could care less about its gender or IV or nature. I like the genders and natures because it makes the Pokemon seem more real. Like they are actually my pets.

LOOKING FOR A SHINY ONIX/STEELIX and SHINY SCYTHER/SCIZOR and SHINY SLOWPOKE . I HAVE POKEBANK CELEBI FOR TRADE AND SOME OTHER SHINIES. PM IF INTERESTED.

ATTN UNITED KINGDOM TRAINERS: I AM VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING MY OWN DARKRAI IF ONE OF YOU COULD PLEASE GET AN EXTRA ONE, I WILL GLADLY TRADE YOU SOMETHING OF MINE. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

It really doesn't. ....but sometimes I'll be in a weird mood. When I first got BW, all my Poke's in W were female (I restarted a million times for a female starter) with my female character, and all in B were male with my male character... xD After awhile though, I stopped being as picky on those, because it's a lot of work sometimes.

Hipsters, I tell ya.

If I don't know who you are, don't be offended, but I can't keep up with all of these username changes.My Biggest Pet Peeve On Here: vming me and your profile is private! Pretty impossible to vm back, just so you are aware.

Yes, because in platinum, I saved before the Togepi egg hatched an then kept on trying to get a female Togepi... to no avail. Though there are also Pokemon whose gender I don't care about. (Pidgey/Spearow etc.)

I don't mind the gender that much. Sometimes I prefer females over males of their kind due to their rarity, such as female Riolu. Surprisingly, the first Riolu I found in White 2 was female! And if I want to use it as a pokemon with attract, then I want the female pokemon.

For my main storyline team, I try to make sure all of them are male. If I'm trying to do something with Attract or breeding purposes, then obviously I'll get a female pokemon. If I'm just trying to fill up the National Dex, then I don't care.

To me, I want gender to match the appearance of the Pokemon. I don't want a male Gardevoir, that's for sure.

True to your word. For me, I find using a male Cinccino very awkward since my favorite normal type is so screams female.
Another Awkwardness is a female Hariyama. I mean, have we ever seen a real life female sumo wrestler?
For me, Serperior screams feminine thanks to its regal like look. She's like the poke version of queen elizabeth. Tip, snivy's tail is in shape with the "fleur de lys". Da vinci code plot thickens to this family
